Definitely injured. Did his shoulder. He started in the first round of the play offs.

Hi Sir Gregory point taken and it was not a dig at you I just found it amusing.
I do in many ways feel for RS in that he has clearly been let down badly by Nene but if you look at his record of staying with clubs for any length of time it’s poor. RS was brought in to try and turn things around and rectify lots of poor decisions made by the previous incumbent. This included back room staff not just playing rosters. I suppose after such a good start last season it was always going to be difficult following up this season, especially when his hands were tied with the number of players tied to big contracts and restricted spots for imported players. We now have three overseas spots to fill with plenty of cap space. There can be no excuses now it’s make or break. RS has full control of who he wants despite the various perennial comments about GH being tight. If he gets it wrong this time he will definitely not see out next season. I hope he has 3 or 4 real surprises up his sleeve but being a Rhinos fan it is hard to feel optimistic.

Only 2 overseas spots to fill and that’s assuming Nene is not coming back. If he is then it’s only 1 quota spot left

I believe it's Jon Davidson so likely complete BS. Shame because he has a very good pedigree and one I'd like to believe.

He definitely fell down the pecking order I'm afraid. Roosters were trying to offload him at start of season. Injury came during the season.

Quality is so low in SL these days he will probably do well over here.

Hi Cheeky
You’re spot on I forgot that Fusi had signed on. Would seem unlikely that Nene will be back but who knows. Hopefully a top centre and a SO from NRL then let’s see what else there is over here. Could do with another hooker an another utility back to cover centre and SO. Hopefully Gannon will be injury free next year and really kicks on as he offer’s something different from the rest of the 2nd rowers we have but unless there are some more outgoing players it’s hard to see much else. However nothing will surprise me.

He's now linking us with Kelepi Tanginoa from Wakefield.

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour thread V4 : Tue Sep 26, 2023 12:23 pm  

The people we are linked with don't exactly inspire hope

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour thread V4 : Tue Sep 26, 2023 1:43 pm  

Momorovski is a good signing I think. However tanginoa or Whitbread are not the answer in the forwards. Still believe we need a leader whether that's at halfback or at prop.
